They follow the rules once they are taught and they can not understand why everyone else doesn&#39;t do it. Literal kids to a fault, but they have so much to offer with their true vision. I have to admit, I probably would have said something to that other parent, but with time I often learn it isn&#39;t worth it. What is important is letter your own child know that they did it right and cheering their success on.

As you know my oldest has so many similar things going on, only he is about to turn nine. Our doctors feel that NHL&#39;s anxiety from the sensory issues (which we begged to get help for years ago) are causing the ADHD symptoms. This was missed by neurologists and developmental pediatricians for many years because of his ability to cope well until recently. Now the worries have taken over life and it is so hard to help. We started this journey so many years ago. I am relieved to have answers, but discouraged with lack of doctors helping us to get a move on things this summer.TheAngelForeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656102800736469480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-25611243731229114152012-06-25T08:52:45.280-04:002012-06-25T08:52:45.280-04:00This is such heavy information to absorb, I&#39;m ...This is such heavy information to absorb, I&#39;m sure.

Do you have any idea when you&#39;ll be able to meet with another doctor? I feel like doctors don&#39;t take parents seriously these days. Really wish I could wave a wand and fix this for you.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105871510922494181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-12300487084354976502012-05-29T23:42:25.798-04:002012-05-29T23:42:25.798-04:00I understand completely what you are going through...I understand completely what you are going through, the struggles and the fights with your child. Feeling guilty because you get angry, knowing it isn&#39;t their fault that they are misbehaving, but you feel they should &quot;know better&quot;. I had alot of behavior issues with my daughter, who is now 5. Because she was not in daycare, and was a stay at home child, our pediatrician refused treatment for ADHD because he wanted to see how she would react in a structured environment. Like Nathan, Emily scored too high to get into school early, so we had to wait a year. And once we finally got her in school, we had major difficulties (which I knew we would!). Our doctor finally put her on Focalin, and it has made a world of difference. I understand that there are alot of misdiagnosis on ADHD, and medications given when it shouldn&#39;t, but I honestly believe that my daughter will have a much better school life because of the medication. She is actually able to sit at the desk, and complete a worksheet where as before she would be lucky to sit still enough until the worksheets were handed out. It was sad! And she still has her sweet personality, attitude and all, but it is no longer spastic!!! That is the best word I can use to describe her &quot;BEFORE&quot; self vs. her &quot;AFTER&quot; self. I will pray that Nathan gets the help he needs, and that you get the answers you need. But I hope you know that you aren&#39;t alone in your struggles, and I am always a message post away if you need to vent or just have someone with an understanding ear that has walked in your shoes!!!ladyincntrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950544028582399761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-74648298761349162232012-05-29T21:46:18.715-04:002012-05-29T21:46:18.715-04:00Jen, see my post from a few weeks ago (Putting it ...Jen, see my post from a few weeks ago (Putting it all out there).<br />AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862651836996087688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-31211666409828617132012-05-29T21:41:35.718-04:002012-05-29T21:41:35.718-04:00What has been going on???What has been going on???Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004506203897438569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-2017806438969773002012-05-04T17:36:44.399-04:002012-05-04T17:36:44.399-04:00It&#39;s so brave of you to share all of this.

We went to lunch, got a few items we needed for the house, did indoor glow in the dark mini-golf, and had ice cream. After seeing Nana and Papa quickly I went home to label everything for my soon to be third grader to have for his first day. Hope you enjoyed the day with your family.TheAngelForeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656102800736469480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687681217352146313.post-6351499400496252002011-09-05T19:13:45.983-04:002011-09-05T19:13:45.983-04:00Wahoo - go Anne!
